NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – While many first responders from the Tri-State Area traveled to Puerto Rico to help following Hurricane Maria, others here at home are stepping up to the plate, too.
Ten-year-old Georgina posed for a photo with legendary New York Yankee Mariano Rivera on Thursday in New Rochelle, but she was there for much more.
“Me and my mom wanted to donate water for the people in the hurricane,” she told CBS2’s Vanessa Murdock.
Hundreds of people showed up for a donation drive at Steiner Sports, piling up love and necessities for the people of Mexico, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico – all still devastated from the earthquake and Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
